Lol, my mistake. I meant to say that Unitarianism is not the same as Unitarian Universalism. :)

unitarian universalism is unitarianism unless you can say with proof how they are different because i know of no unitarian outside this forum who claims to not be a universalist.

Read the wiki page...they are distinct.
Admittedly though, I have heard that it is primarily only within the U.S. maybe that is the cause of the confusion?

distinct yes but still christian.
I'm sorry, but this is simply not true.
It originated in liberal Christianity (Unitarianism and Universalism), but "Unitarian Universalism" is no longer

closely related to either.

From the article:
"Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion characterized by a "free and responsible search for truth and meaning". Unitarian Universalists do not share a creed but are unified by their shared search for spiritual growth. As such, the Unitarian Universalist Church (UU) includes many agnostics, theists, and atheists among its membership. The roots of UU are in liberal Christianity, specifically Unitarianism and Universalism. Unitarian Universalists state that from these traditions comes a deep regard for intellectual freedom and inclusive love, so that congregations and members seek inspiration and derive insight from all major world religions.

The theology of individual Unitarian Universalists ranges widely, including atheism, agnosticism, pantheism, deism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, neopaganism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and many more."
